I received this today, just a few minutes ago.  It's the FIRST time EVER 
that I have received anything from MIT regarding com.au names and as far as 
I'm aware I'm not a contact for any com.au names.  (Maybe some old ones??)

Strange it's addressed to "Adam" without the Todd.

Anyway, headers included.

>auDA CONSUMER ALERT     Being Issued - 8 July 2002
>
>CAUTION
>Internet Registry Pty Ltd - Mail out contains inaccurate information
>
>auDA has become aware that a company called Internet Registry Pty Ltd
>(Internet Registry) is sending out incorrect information to domain name
>registrants.
>
>The mail out, headed "IMPORTANT NOTICE", contains numerous
>inaccuracies. Chief amongst these is the following statement:
>
>"Secure your domain with Internet Registry in the new system before
>31st July. Any existing registration period for your domain will be
>added to your two year registration!"
>
>This statement could be taken to mean that registrants can renew their
>existing .au domain name for a period longer than 2 years. THIS IS
>INCORRECT.
>
>Domain names in .au can only be licensed for 2 year periods and cannot
>be renewed until 90 days before they are due to expire. Registrants
>should be wary of paying for renewal at any earlier time.
>
>Please see auDA's previous Consumer Alert about early renewals at
>http://www.auDA.org.au/about/news/2002032202.html
>
>auDA has lodged a complaint about Internet Registry with ACCC.
>
>Protecting yourself
>Registrants should be aware that only auDA Accredited Registrars and
>their appointed resellers are bound to abide by the Code of Practice
>and auDA's published policies. Registrants should be wary of dealing
>with organisations that are not Accredited Registrars or their
>appointed resellers. A list of Accredited Registrars is available at
>http://www.auDA.org.au/registrars/ and a list of appointed resellers
>will be published at the beginning of August.
>
>Pricing
>Since the introduction of competition, consumers now have a range of
>price and service offerings to choose from. auDA strongly encourages
>registrants to compare prices charged by Accredited Registrars and
>their appointed resellers.
>
>If you believe you have been misled or deceived into renewing your
>domain name license to your disadvantage, then you should contact the
>Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC). The ACCC is
>responsible for administering the Trade Practices Act 1974, which
>contains prohibitions against certain types of misleading or deceptive
>conduct. Contact details are at http://www.accc.gov.au.
